“I don’t want to pickle, I just want to ride my motorcycle” – Arlo Guthrie

Represented at Coffee & Cars yesterday. There are usually several vintage bikes but I guess It was too early in the season. More next time I hope.

A little video from my Tuesday "What I did..." ride.

Don't I know it! 60 when I was riding and expected to be 20s and sleet on Friday. I grab 'em when I get 'em!

Loving this new exhaust more and more.

Got a break in our winter yesterday so I took it out for an afternoon of riding. Great day!

That's fantastic!

If you can only afford to rattle can or a cheep MAACO paint job to get your build on the road so you can RIDE, then no smart ass MEME matters. Just my opinion, but riding about 10K miles a year is where my money goes.

It was Dupli-Color. Yes, just one stage.

Was it brake caliper paint? That or header paint is designed to resist fuel and other auto fluids. Ive had good luck with that. Also, wet sanding is crucial to the process. Here is my xs400 with brake caliper paint. Spilled lots of fuel on it over time. :)

I should have clarified I was not trying to match a layered factory color. All they had to do was light sanding of the previous paint and then spray. Given that I have been known to "rattle can" my builds this was a high end step for me. lol

I had MAACO do a triumph for $200. Tank and side covers and fenders. Looked ok.

Shinko 255 Trail pro. They love gravel, yet still hang on great in the twisties at speed!

Thanks. Quite mic not quite bike... LOL

I took it out to play in the mud!

Picked it up from new muffler install and road it 50 miles! Love winter in the Ozarks!

Winter refresh completed by Tim Pierce. Ceramic coated exhaust and new muffler. Sounds great!

Great looking bike. Mind saying where you got the headlight screen?

Love the whitewall tires and the pipe wrapped back with just a chrome tip. Nice touches that make it unique build. Well done!

A mock up of the new muffler mod my friend and master craftsman Tim Pierce will start on tomorrow. I'm a rider not a builder so I'm lucky to have good friends who are great at it! ;)
